Ten Cyrenians staff members taking part in Edinburgh Marathon Relay - split into two teams of five. Lots of fun to be had. Lots of miles to be ran. Lots of healthy bodies and health minds. And most importantly, lots of money to be raised to help tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness here in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.

We're going to document our training in the lead up to the race on this page. The highs and lows of it all. The early morning runs in the cold and wind and the blisters that come with it all - nothing compared to how homelessness negatively effects people on a personal, social, and economical level.

We're hoping this encourages you to donate some money towards our fundraising target. If you're not able to donate, we hope that you become a bit more familiar with Cyrenians and the amazing work they do. Every penny donated will help to provide direct support to those experiencing street homelessness by alleviating poverty, tackling food insecurity and providing support to families and young people across more than 50 projects.

We thank you for your donation and attention.
